brett1985 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 im privilidged enough to work for the mentioned company.... parts manager. to those who think the r8 is too "safe", drive one with the traction control off! its an absolute animal. we have the new v10 plus thats in the add in the showroom at the moment, identical to the one in the add. it really is a beautiful looking piece of machinery. and yes, i have driven it, lots and lots and lots.....

Breastman Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 How much does that one cost with the boot lid and back bumper included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 ahem.... "cough" £138k "cough" however, you do get the matched r8 luggage set with it for that though! so that makes it a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15j Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 If I had a spare £100k I would not blow it on an Audi! Just not enough prestige, used virage though hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 You wouldn't blow it on an Audi as you still couldn't afford the £138000 price tag!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 V8 Ariel Atom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 ive got to admit, although i do love the r8, i would choose a 458 italia over it if one was going begging.... but if i had to pay, it would be the r8 everyday of the week. when it comes to prestige, i think that opinion differs greatly on what makes a car prestigious.... considering audi has been around since the early days of auto union (the 4 rings, audi - wanderer-horch-dkw), has released numerous ground breaking cars, and won an untold amount of motorsport titles as well as becoming one of, if not the best, premium car makers in the world. if its not prestigious yet, it soon will be. V8 Ariel Atom... beautiful, quick and alot cheaper than an r8.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeceknight Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'd rather a 20 grand mk1 Mexico with a 500bhp cosworth engine it it, space frame, caged, raged and ready to push any 100,000 super car around a track, then if I had to spend a 100,000 on cars? Rs500 seirra cosworth - £25,000 BMW m3 csl - £20,000 defender 110 Crewcab - £20,000 (for shooting) 1967 chev camero ss - £30,000 running the '67 camero with the last £5,000 that's what I would have in the garage instead of a 100,000 Audi although a ford gt40 would be nice aswell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexcernui Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 If I had to spend £100k on German metal it would be RS6. 100k on anything else would probably be a Nissan GTR Skyline and with the change I would send it off to Nismo. Might just be quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe1978 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Best ad' on TV at the moment in my opinion.Local chemist has one,he is a big fan of German cars and I can't recall him ever having any car other than a German one.He sold his pharmacies a couple of years ago and retired still a relatively young man.His daily runaround is a Porsche Cayenne.He changes cars more often than I change my socks! I almost choked on my cold cup of coffee there until I got to the bit when you said he'd sold his pharmacies, then it all made sense.

Reeceknight Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Iv actually made a huge mistake!!!

keg Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 If I had to buy one car that I had to use for everything it would be a Range Rover Vogue TDV8. If money was no object Aston V8 Vantage Volante- Living Daylights car Ariel Atom ( any flavour) RR as mentioned above Based on current lottery winnings I will not be buying any time soon.

Paddy Galore! Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 i'd love an R8! iron man had one so they must be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatuveradanikto Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Talking to one of the sales lads at Cheshire Oaks Audi whilst waiting for one of our unmarked cars he tells me of the serving needs with a R8 this includes new carbon discs and pads every 5k miles at a cost of 3k. so unless those numbers come up my smart car will have to do for now , but then again if i need speed and acceleration i've always got my BMW K1200RS bike.

For the v8 vantage don't get the auto box it's horrific, feels like your a learner again!Touchtronic on virage is silky smooth though! Pdk box on cayman r is superb too, as is the car!

lincs1963 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 It is a very German advert! I do like the R8, but given the money and the inclination, I think i'd end up buying something with a little more flamboyance! It's the 10 year old in me i think. If i'm gonna spend a ludicrous amount of money on a car, I think i'd like it to have a bit of madness about it too. Plus the sense that the car might secretly want to kill me. I think the Audi might be just a bit too safe! In terms of an ad though, you're right = every petrol head loves the growl of a V8! Think its a v10!

seph234 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Merc C63 for me and you can still get the family in. But yes i do like the advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15j Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I would happily supply one of these to a customer...but I cannot justify 6 figures on an Audi! It's like the VW phaeton, how many people want to spend that kind on money on a VW! At least with the skyline it's not stupid pricing, they know and respect their place in the market! Also I suppose why Lexus dont exactly fly off the shelves, just over priced re-badged toyotas! And yes I'm aware the am cygnet is a Toyota iq wearing some plastic and a few cows! Merc C63 for me and you can still get the family in. But yes i do like the advert I've been doing these at silly money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
